Are they available or even announced? No. So this comparison right now is valid.
When S4 and M7 get announced then videos like that will be useless.

Yap, for now that is only top high end to compare with.
But hell yea, i wait for htc m7 and s4 to compare it via xperia z.

lol..One X was just a special appearance there and its supposed to have the best 720p screen out there! Yet the reviewer never compares its screen..fail!

hmmmm not so good about the screen - little worried now.

Nah, i bet screen is awesome.

True but Xperia Z's colours seem natural.

Xperia Z1 comes with TN screen

Sony did it again using their belowed TN screens on Xperia Z1:silly:
watch the video please

Sony Xperia Z2 Philippines Thread

Mabuhay! The official hub of Filipino users here in the z2 general thread! Anyone getting this phone?

Planning to get it. When is it going to be available in stores?

^ expected next month though PH pro'lly get it may-jun. expansys-ph has it on their "coming soon" section already. i've seen the z1 compact on kimstore, cmk & expansys-ph. btw, that language is technically not allowed here, bro
i'm thinking of getting the z2 as well to replace the one on my sig, especially if globe offers this on postpaid. but for me, it's really a toss up between this and the oppo find 7 qhd version - similarly spec'd but bigger (and pro'lly better) screen and a bit more cheaper for the US$599 price tag at launch

Xperia Z1 Compact is now available on Xperia stores. Just saw it yesterday in Megamall.

Yes it is available already. The lady says z2 will be available mid April so I'm gonna wait for it instead.

Oops forgot it sorry my bad. So z1c is here already. So Z2 should be april then.

I would just because I'm still using the HSPA+ version. Chances are the next Moto G will have LTE by default. That's worth an upgrade for me.

You are saying it wrong... It doesn't "keep the 720p screen"... It keeps the 320 dpi... Our eyes can't see the difference in the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 screen, because we can only see a 320 dpi image from 20 cm... Unless you use cardboard, you will NEVER notice the difference.

Yeah the front speakers are horrible I wouldn't upgrade even if it costs 100 euros. A phone must be fast and stuff but also good looking :beer:

I prefer the rear or bottom speaker placement. It looks like a Moto E successor instead of Moto G. Some Brazilian news sites are saying it could be Moto M.

No it isn't. Notice the front facing camera at the top right? That, and the front panel is far too lengthy to be a Moto E.

I wonder if it will be even cheaper and if yes, and they will but better cpu and gpu there, what will be the cut? without gorilla glass? maybe using TN display this time? weaker battery? the price cut must have to come from somewhere

1. I doubt the screen will be touched, making the next G with a worse screen is waaaaay to Windows (that Lumia 530)... It will just make everything look bad, and Motorola focused on user experience with the Moto series.
2. The battery can't be modified if they put another CPU, the Cortex A7 is the only decent architecture for this battery size, new cpu + smaller batter = 0 battery life.
I doubt it will have any other changes appart from a new camera (this is really a painting canvas) and the front facing speaker.
The good part is, if they keep the same chipset and they release it with Android L, it means we are surely getting M, maybe even N (or if not officially, it will be easy to port, like novafusion team does with the S3 mini, xperia U, galaxy s advance and ace 2, which have the same chipset and use almost identical cyanogenmod builds)

I can't wait for new g or the x to release all Motorola need to start doing now is a massive advertising and start getting people to no about it. Knock Samsung off top spot.

*Speculation/Rumor* 6.0 MM for Z5 Update

Hi Everyone,
Today I was notified of 2 Play Store app updates that might mean that 6.0 is literally coming very very soon. The Sony Lifelog app got a new material design as well as a new app icon. Smart Connect also got an Android M compatibility update. Since it was rumored that they had a kernel build compiled back in January, that just means that they needed to fix some stock app issues. It's wishful thinking but I think we can look forward to the coming days/weeks when this finally releases OTA.

I saw over on Android Central, that a Sony Twitter mentioned March 7th as the 'official' release of MM for eligible Xperia devices. Assuming this is for international versions, and how long it took for the previous update to arrive, it could a mid March before we see anything

I just have 1 question. The new UI will same with Xperia X UI ?
The Xperia UI seems not big change, Settings menu, Notification bar,... similar Lollipop. I hope this is a beta version. A bit disappointed

Z5P come with marshmallow adoptable storage, as samsung opt this out for their marshmallow.

will it be straight to 6.0.1 or just updating to 6.0?

Will it improve the camera performance? i.e. less delay between shots, better image processing?...
